in CD1: White hits Heinrich again on ‘lobbyist’ issue on The New Mexico Independent
This coverage is a shallow waste of time. Doesn't Monahan already handle this nonsense?

in Heinrich mum on work history on The New Mexico Independent
I'm with jbaca - I thought the NMI was trying to be an intelligent alternative to the dumb horse race political coverage of the mainstream media. But today I'm treated to the zillionth analysis of Sarah Palin from the perspective of an evangelical blogger, and yet another petty he-said-she-said story about local politicians who may or may not have had a job once. Sheesh.

Thomas - my comment goes beyond who's a neo-whatever or who can't handle disagreement.

What I'm saying is that there is already no shortage of this sort of pointless discussion on the Internet. I am arguing that NMI should consider itself above this sort of drivel.

I want to read progressively-minded, thoughtful news pieces. If I need some moron's uninformed opinion, there's always the Journal's ed. page, or Daily Kos, LGF, Huffington Post or gazillions of other sources for endless arguing and bloviating.

In other words, rather than trying to silence debate, I'm humbly requesting that NMI seek to keep it a little more high-minded. By letting the sources and people quoted in stories -- the folks who are actually doing something -- be the voices.

I'm not sure why you feel the NMI needs a token conservative, but if you must, could it please be someone smarter than this sleazy knuckledragger? From the dumb "Teh libruls hate our god and our freedums!" to the glib AM radio talking points about Obama's "change" slogans, this reads like recycled comments from a Free Republic post.

I come to NMI for the great reporting on local issues, like the environment, and I've really come to appreciate the smart writing, thorough research and most importantly, a progressive perspective on stories. I, and most other NMI readers I suspect, could do without hearing anyone's opinion on anything, regardless of its political viewpoint. There's already a glut of opinion bloggers out there, and none of them are going to change anyone's mind about anything.

I realize it's about about Web hits, but I'd rather you stick to covering news, NMI.
